I apologise if this has already been suggested - I'm quite new here.

Something that I think would be really useful would be a feature where I could search for all references to any object across all the events. It would make it much easier to track errors in event coding - for example when copying an event group multiple times, it's easy to forget to change a reference. Hunting through every event in every group can be somewhat tedious.

Another feature that would be really handy for testing and debugging events would be a real-time display of variable values. If this exists, I haven't yet found it. The only way to check the values of variables is to open the event wizard, and go to the "Active Variables and Timers" tab, but doing so automatically pauses the simulation. It would be handy to be able to monitor maybe a specific variable or two, to see whether they get changed when they should.

Answered my own question...

Exporting the events to a .html file and opening that in the browser. Then <CTRL> + F  to search for the string I need to find. I found where a point was being changed that was causing derailments!

I would love to have a search engine for finding stuff within events. I sure can't remember where I use variables etc. 

Guess I could learn to export the events and search as @simonjackson1964 did, but that seems laborious.

Yeah ... search engine for stuff within multiple events would be a time savor .... I make too many changes along the way, and lose track of what I'm doing.
